May 1, 2012: Johnsonville's Coleman Shannon defines determination

http://www2.scnow.com/sports/pee-dee/...

Since he was a child, Coleman Shannon has set it about himself to overcome the odds.

Born with a medical condition known as Amelia, Coleman has only a partial right arm that ends where his elbow is, which forces him to rely on his left arm for most things.

For many people, living without a limb would be a considerable hardship and one that would most certainly qualify them as handicapped.

Shannon, on the other hand, has taken the circumstances dealt to him and made the best of it.

Coleman is an awesome kid that is for real!!! You would have to know him to really appreciate how real he is. To him, He is just a normal teenager. Coleman, you are deserving of all this attention. What I love about you, is that you will look at it as no big deal.
